Preterm Premature Rupture

Despite the progress of medicine in the last decades, recurrent pregnancy loss, premature birth, and related complications are still a vast problem. The reasons for recurrent pregnancy loss and preterm delivery are diverse and multifactorial. One of the main reasons for these complications is cervical insufficiency, which means that the cervix is weak and unable to remain closed until the date of delivery. It manifests as painless softening and shortening of the cervix without contractions. The aim of the study was to review the available literature on rescue sutures, which are an emergency treatment in pregnancies with premature cervical dilatation and protrusion of the fetal membranes in the second trimester of pregnancy. This review confirms that emergency cerclage reduces the rate of preterm birth in patients with advanced cervical insufficiency. This procedure prolongs gestational age and improves the chances of survival of the newborn without increasing the risk of chorioamnionitis and preterm premature rupture of membranes.
